To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shaftesbury declares he danced with joy. " It was to my mind,*" he said, " as distinctly an act of special providence as when the hand of Abraham was stayed and Isaac escaped."" As will be seen from these extracts from the letters and diaries of Lord Macaulay and the Earl of Shaftes- bury, the " fishing for seals,"" as it is called in political circles, goes on briskly during the fortnight it usually takes to form an Administration. The " seals of office,"' about which people read so much in th...eir favourite newspapers on the advent of a new Government, ai'e small metal discs, engi*aved with some image or device, enclosed in a velvet case, which are suiTendered into the hands of the Queen by the outgoing Ministry, and subsequently distributed by her Majesty to the members of the incoming Administration. The seals are never used, and probably a Minister never sees them from the day he enters upon office to the day he goes out of it. By a curious coincidence the last Bill passed by the late Liberal Government, after their defeat in the House of Commons in June 1895, was the Seal Fisheries Bill, 158 THE BOOK OF PARLIAMENT which applies to the fisheries of the Behring Seas.
